veganism: There are many reasons, but a few of the most important are: -Helping the environment. Animals raised for milking and slaughter produce more greenhouse gases than all the cars in the world. -Helping to solve world hunger - hear me out on this one. Livestock being raised for slaughter consume a huge amount of grain that is disproportionate to the amount of meat we get from them. If all of that grain could be given to people instead, that would be a huge success for the starving poor in the world -Helping yourself. Your body does not need meat, and it certainly doesn't need milk, cheese, or eggs. Milk is made by mother cows to quickly fatten and grow baby cows... not humans. A majority of people are lactose intolerant anyway! And every time you eat an animal product, you are eating all of the pesticides, antibiotics, growth hormones, and illnesses that the animal had. I have all sorts of stomach issues like lactose intolerance that I had been trying to fight by taking medicine, but I recently became vegan and I have never felt better. I have more energy, have lost a few pounds, and haven't had ONE stomach ache. I hope this helps!|||hey just look at my answer here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?鈥?/a> veganism is good for ur health n the environment http://edwardandsons.com/veganism.html http://peta2.com/p2vsk2_flash/ books by micheal pollan or the juicing bible by pat crocker n jacklalanne stainlesssteel power juicerpro from bbb its 150 bucks movie food inc n video chew on this http://meat.org/index-1.asp?c=gwapba1010 thats all gluck|||Because it's awesome for your health if you do it right, and it's nice to know that you aren't killing animals for your selfish desires.
